Activity 1: Scaling New Heights

Aotearoa New Zealand is a country of mountainsand valleys, dense forests, and sparkling oceans. At the centre of the South Island sits the tallest mountain in the country, Aoraki Mt Cook. It is the place where Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to reach the top (summit) of Mt Everest, learned how to climb mountains. It was pretty difficult for him, at first, but Sir Edmund Hillary did not give up and, in 1953, he achieved this dream of climbing Mt Everest. His face can now be found on the New Zealand $5 note!

Let’s imagine that you met Sir Edmund Hillary in real life and were able to interview him.   On your blog, post five questions that you would like to ask Sir Edmund Hillary about his life.

1. What Is It Like Having Your Face On A $5 Note?
2. What Was It Like When You Climbed Mt Everest?
3. Did You Ever Want To Give Up When You Were Learning How To Climb Mountains?
4. Did Your Mum And Dad encourage You To Keep Trying?
5. When Did You Decide To Start Climbing Mountains?


Activity 2:Pancakes And Maple Syrup?
Aotearoa New Zealand is home to many spectacular sights and natural wonders. One of these is the Punakaiki Rocks and Blowholes located on the West Coast of the South Island. The Punakaiki rocks attract tourists from all over the world who are keen to see these amazing rock formations. Many people think that they look like pancakes stacked on top of one another. Pancakes are one of my favorite foods! They are delicious and pretty easy to make.

For this activity you are asked to choose one of your favorite foods. On your blog, write the name of your favorite food and then tell us how to make it. You may need to ask a family member, friend or Google (!) for help, if you do not normally make this food for yourself.

Name:Pancakes

How To Make Them:

Step 1. In A Large Bowl Sift together The Flour, Baking Powder, Salt And Sugar. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg and melted butter; mix until smooth. 

2.Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.

3. Then You Have Well Made Pancakes.

Bonus Activity:Salt And Pepper 

Deep in the heart of Bolivia (a country in South America) lies a natural wonder unlike anything else. It is a massive area of salt, over 10 000 km2 large, that is referred to as the Uyuni Salt Flats.

Tourists who visit the flats often stay in hotels made completely out of salt (salt hotels). This is not the only unique hotel that you will find around the world. In fact, you can stay in hotels made entirely of ice (ice hotels) or glass (glass hotel). Let’s imagine that you were given enough money to build your very own hotel. On your blog tell us where you would build your hotel and what you would use to build it. For an extra five points, use Google Drawings to design one room in your hotel. You can also use a paper and pencil to draw your room, take a picture of the drawing, and post it on your blog.
